Rick, What is the purpose of all these sub directories, is each site actually different? What are you actually trying to achieve.
Russ -----Original Message----- From: Rick Root [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 06 December 2010 18:44 To: cf-talk Subject: Virtual Directories and IIS I'm wondering if there's a better way to do what we're doing. Currently, we have about 12,000 web sites, each of which uses a virtual directory that refers to the web root www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1 www.mydomain.com/mywebsite2 etc Some of these sites end up buying domains and they just end up going to www.mywebsite1.com .. but the virtual directory still works. So yeah, we've got 12,000 virtual directories (back in the old days, we actually had 2,000 physical subdirectories with 2,000 identical copies of the files, so the virtual directory method was a vast improvement) that being said, I'm having problems getting my dot net calls to work (a topic for another thread) but this got me thinking.. is there a better way? Could I somehow have a catch-all virtual directory that would prevent me from having to create unique virtual directories for every site? like, in the case www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1/foo.cfm, if there ws no "/mywebsite1/" physical directory, then look for "foo.cfm" in the web root.. but do not REDIRECT (because we rely on "/mywebsite1/" being in the URL so we know which site they're accessing) rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339827 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
